Hello my friends, I'm back for another chapter. This one is a filler chapter for the Smash Resorts chapters. Thought this would be the Smash Resorts? Too bad, Waluigi time! Lol jk. It'll introduce the way Smashers can communicate easily. Enjoy this chapter!
Any and all characters are owned by Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Capcom, Konami, etc.
This resembles SMN conversations.
MII & THE CORE: Chapter 4
-(o=o)-
It's two days until we go to the Smash Resorts, and most of us are preparing for it. I still haven't packed, however. Me, Little Mac, and Toon Link were just sitting in the main room watching TV when there was an announcement.
"Attention all Smashers, this is Isabelle! Please report to the auditorium for something special for all of you."
We turn off the television and head towards the auditorium. We sat down, and waited for the announcement we were expecting. Minutes later, Master Hand and R.O.B. went on stage.
"Hello there, we have a special thing that R.O.B. has been working on for a while, and now it's been completed in time for the Smash Resorts! It is called the SMN! R.O.B. will tell you more about it." Master Hand said.
"HELLO. THE SMASH MESSAGING NETWORK, OR SMN, IS A MOBILE DEVICE USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH FELLOW SMASHERS AND ASSIST TROPHIES FOR SOCIAL REASONS, OR FOR GETTING THINGS DONE WHEN YOU ARE NOT NEARBY. ALL YOU NEED IS A USERNAME & PASSWORD. ISABELLE WILL BE HANDING THEM OUT AS YOU GO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME."
We all then walked out in a line, and when I came through the door, Isabelle was standing nearby the door. "Here's your SMN, Gravity!" Isabelle said as she handed the portable device to me. It looked like a normal cell phone, except there was next to no buttons. The only actual buttons were the on/off button, and the lock button. The rest is touch screen. I had to create my username and password, and then 3 areas showed up on the screen. There was Chat, Group Chat, and Find Friends. It looked simple to use, I guess.
"Hey, Little Mac, what's your SMN name?" I asked Little Mac when we were in our room.
"The name's MrKnockout, named after mah famous KO Punch! How bout you, brother?"
"My username is GravityTheGhost."
"Why that?"
"Well, most people don't notice me and I appear from nowhere it seems like, so it's like I'm a ghost or something. So that's why I named myself that, meh."
(A/N: Funny thing is that isn't how I came up with my name GravityTheGhost. My FF name is GtGtheJigglypuff, GtG standing for GravityTheGhost, my YT channel. I just made that up, but irl no one notices me very much. It's true for me irl, but it's not how I got my YT name.)
I went to Find Friends, and I searched Little Mac's name, and sure enough, it was MrKnockout. While friending him, I got a friend request from Toon Link, his username was GreenWindWaker. I accepted it, as those where really the only friends I had right now. Master Hand told us that we'd be getting some friend requests from all members of the Smash Committee, in case they needed us for something. I got requests from all 8. They read RightHand as Master Hand, Wr0nGHanD as Crazy Hand, ItsAMe as Mario, falconlunch as Captain Falcon, DontNeedSwords as Ganondorf, 150Kills as Mewtwo, Not_Kirby as Meta Knight, and QuietKing as Red. I accepted all of them, and my friend count was at 10.
About an hour later, the Assist Trophies got their SMNs, and I got two requests. One from Isabelle (MostHelpful), as she would tell us when we had a battle coming up, and Prince of Sable (Frogboy86). After I accepted their requests, I got a chat message from the Sable prince.
Frogboy86: Hey!
GravityTheGhost: hello Prince of Sable :)
Frogboy86: You can just call me Sable, I don't mind.
GravityTheGhost: ok, why'd you message me? must be important.
Frogboy86: Nothing too big. I'm just asking if you have any free time. Maybe we can hang out outside by the gardens?
GravityTheGhost: sure, now?
Frogboy86: Yup. See ya there in a few.
GravityTheGhost: okay.
Frogboy86 just went offline.
-(o=o)-
I go to the gardens, and I see the prince there waiting for me. He waves towards me. "Hey, Gravity! You came!"
"Of course I would. I mean, I had nothing to do anyway." I replied. There really was nothing to do at the time before Sable messaged me; Little Mac was out of the room. So I was by myself. We had a good conversation about how we both are living in Smash Hall. Apparently, Assist Trophies live in a different area of the Hall than us. They sleep and hang out all in one extremely big room, called the Helper's Room. Sable had made friends with another assist, Isaac. The assists also are going to the Smash Resorts with us, but they will be separated from the regular fighters most of the time. After about an hour of talking, it started to get dark, so we went inside and said goodbye to one another. I went to the mess hall for dinner, and I saw that someone else was sitting with Toon Link and Little Mac.
"Hey, I know you," I said as I looked at him. He looked back at me, almost looking fearful.
"You're that Lucas when we saw you by the flowers during our tour." I said.
"Y-yeah, that's me." Lucas replied.
"Yeah, he and I were talking to each other for a change, but on the SMN. Turns out we have quite some things in common. So I invited him to eat with us." said Toon Link.
"Did ya know that you can make a group chat with certain friends? I found that out just now. Why don't we make a group chat?" Little Mac interrupted.
Me and Toon Link agreed, but Lucas was a bit hesitant, since he never speaks to anyone. But we eventually got him to agree. We named the group chat "The Awesome Peeps." Little Mac came up with "The Awesome Dudes," but I wanted dudes to be replaced with peeps. I just like that word better than dudes. Dinner was over, and me and Little Mac went back to our room. I finally decided to take out the object I brought with me from Andomivia Island, my new Nintendo 3DS XL. I had Mario Kart 7 in the system, so I started playing for a bit. I raced as my favorite driver, Shy Guy. I just love his voice and the way he looks. It's about 8:00 p.m. and Little Mac went off to the gym to work out. I don't understand why he would work out at night rather than morning. I got a friend request from Lucas a little after, his name being GoldenBoy. It kinda fits him perfect. I accepted, and then I went on our group chat.
GravityTheGhost: hey guys, what's up? :D
GreenWindWaker: nothing much, just bout to sleep. but then you showed up lol
GoldenBoy: I'm playing with Rope Snake.
GravityTheGhost: Rope Snake?
GreenWindWaker: Rope Snake is Lucas' pet snake.
GravityTheGhost: huh, for a quiet timid boy, it sounds odd to have such a dangerous pet.
GoldenBoy: I like having him around, he's my best friend :)
GreenWindWaker: he doesn't bite like a regular snake anyway, he's a nice snake. he only bites when he or Lucas threatened or during Smash battles
GravityTheGhost: ah, I see…
MrKnockout: AYYY BOIIIS WASSUP
GravityTheGhost: uuuhh Little Mac? what the heck are you doing? and why are you using all caps like a madman?
MrKnockout: I dunno. I just felt like it. I just got finished working out, so I'll be back in our room in a few.
GravityTheGhost: okay.
MrKnockout just went offline.
GreenWindWaker: anyway…
GreenWindWaker: are you guys ready for the Smash Resorts trip?
GravityTheGhost: sure, why not. It sounds like it'll be fun.
GreenWindWaker: it will. there will also be team building activities n stuff, but the games are the most fun!
GoldenBoy: Yeah, they are. Last time I only talked to Ness, but for some reason now, we never talk anymore. At least I have you three now.
GravityTheGhost: I know how ya feel when you lose a friend, it sucks.
GoldenBoy: I'm getting tired, so I guess I'll sleep. It's kind of late anyways. Good night.
GoldenBoy just went offline.
GreenWindWaker: we both might as well sleep too
GravityTheGhost: yeah, good night Toon Link.
GreenWindWaker: night.
GreenWindWaker just went offline.
-(o=o)-
The next morning, we were all told to go to the mess hall for breakfast no matter the situation, as some skipped breakfast. After we all finished eating, Master Hand came through the doors.
"Alright Smashers. Due to popular demand by the outside world playing the game version of Smash Brothers, we will be adding extra people to the Smash Brothers 4 roster! We will also be opening up a ballot to the public to vote for any character they want to join the Smash roster. You Smashers also get to vote. You'll cast your votes while on the boat towards Smash Resorts." Master Hand said.
Extra characters added to the fourth Smash Brothers? I thought 50 was enough. I guess the outside world wants more, hey, I can't complain on that.
"We have four people to join the Smash 4 Extras Lineup, or what the outside world calls DLC. Three of you are already here. They are Mewtwo, Lucas, and Roy."
Me, Little Mac, and Toon Link looked at Lucas who had a smile on his face for once rather than a frown. He seemed…excited.
"I'm glad you've chosen me, but what about the fourth one?" Roy asked.
"I'm getting to that. The fourth 'DLC' member will be a new person altogether. Mega Man most likely knows this man. I present to you the newest member of the Smash family, Ryu!"
A big flash of light appeared before us, and a man in a white karate outfit came from it.
"Hello. I'm Ryu, and I'm looking for a challenge."
-(o=o)-
That's the end of Chapter 4! The Smash Ballot has just ended on regards to voting. No more voting :(
I hope Chorus Kids from Rhythm Heaven get in…or Waluigi…or Shantae…
But yeah, I decided to include Ryu now. "The outside world" is basically our world, and to us Smash is a game. But in their world, Smash is very real and by the time they do Smash Resorts, the 'game' has been out for a while. Next chapter (or chapters) will be the Smash Resorts. Also, how do you like how I introduced Ryu at the end?
Please send reviews and suggestions, I would love it very much! Thanks for reading, and see ya next chapter!
